Hi, Is it possible, that the read() syscall sometimes doesn't work correctly on newer cpus? I have problems to get the cygwin port of mplayer to work on a p3 800 whereas the same executable works perfect on a p2 350. I found out, that it sometimes reads one byte less on the p3 than on the p2. Other people get similar errors on p4 and athlon cpus. This is reproducable with the -dumpstream option, which reads the file in 2048 byte blocks and writes it into a new one.I use cygwin 1.3.18. Tell me if you need more info.
